Airbus switches - momentary or toggle?
Hi All,
I am in the process of assembling some of my Airbus panels and I just wanted to confirm a couple of things:
1. Are the auto-brake selection switches momentary or toggle?
2. Do the landing gear annunciator lights have any function as switches - or just annunciators?
3. Are the engine warn/fail indicators on the engine start panel just annunciators or are they switches also? If switches, are they toggle or momentary?
Many thanks,
Ryan.

Hello,
From what I could gather:
1 - Auto-brakes are momentary switches
2 & 3 - LDG gear/Engine Fail annunciators are only annunciators
You may want to cross check however, if dodiano is in the vicinity maybe ;)

Hi
With the Software of Airsimtech (AST), the Autobreak Switch and offset is toogle! Diffrent then Boeing....
The rest are only annunciators.

Ryan,
Also make sure to look at Jerome Meriweather's site. He describes all Airbus (and other...) panels in detail, including whether you want switches or only annunciators.

Autobrake, MW, MC, Autoland, EGPWS/GS seem to be mon-off.
How about the Terr on HD? These can annunciate to the 'on' position even when off (you're flying into a mountain) and they would make sense to be mon-off PB.

Yes the TERR ON ND are also MON-OFF.
Here a list I made, it may not be exhaustive:
-EXT PWR
-APU START
-Autobrakes
-yellow elec pump
-ADRs
-Fire Agents
-IDGs
-GND CTL
-MW/MC
-GPWS G/S
-AUTOLAND
-TERR ON ND

Cheers, thanks for the list JL

Hi Jean Luc,
could you please enable in FDS Interface IT Creator the possibility to assign those switches to "separate Press/Release action". E.g. it's possible for the yellow elec pump but not for TERR ON ND.
